Who is this template for?

This workflow is perfect for bloggers, marketers, or content teams using Ghost CMS who want to:

  • Extract and review all images from articles
  • Detect missing or short alt texts
  • Check image file size and filename SEO compliance
  • Push the audit results into a Google Sheet

How does it work?

This n8n workflow extracts all blog posts from Ghost CMS, scans the HTML to collect all embedded images, then evaluates each image for:

  • ✅ Presence and length of alt text
  • 📏 File size in kilobytes
  • 🔤 Filename SEO quality (e.g. lowercase, hyphenated, no special chars)

All findings are written to Google Sheets for further analysis or manual cleanup.

🧭 Workflow Steps:

  1. 🚀 Trigger the workflow manually or on schedule
  2. 📰 Extract blog post content from Ghost CMS
  3. 🖼️ Parse all <img> tags with src and alt attributes
  4. 📤 Store image metadata in a Google Sheet (step 1)
  5. 🌐 Download each image using HTTP request
  6. 🧮 Extract file size, extension, and filename SEO flag
  7. 📄 Update the audit sheet with size and format insights

What do I need to get started?

This workflow requires:

  • A Ghost Content API key
  • A Google Sheet (to log audit results)
  • No AI or external APIs required — works fully with built-in nodes
